Abstract

The article offers news briefs related to astronomy in Great Britain. The V630 Cas, a dwarf nova, which had been observed since 1952, is becoming brighter, compared to its previous appearance. Several observers are expected to focus their telescopes at the globular cluster M13 June 2009, a wonderful object in any instrument and with a visual magnitude of 5.8 and a diameter of 21 arc-minutes, which can be seen as a slightly fuzzy star by the naked eye from a dark location.
